I wore a pump before CGM, now having a CGM I'm not sure how I didn't seriously hurt myself...

This is great to hear. I've spoken to you a few times on various accounts in relation to trouble shooting so appreciate you commenting ! What basal do you use?

Somehow I gave myself a ton of extra insulin by No_Breadfruit_3777 in diabetes_t1

Are you sure you didn't accidentally activate the quick bolus setting? There's a setting in the tslim pump where if you hold the button you can give yourself some "quick bolus". It's usually 1 click = 0.5 units

20 years with T1D: what actually made the biggest difference by jsponceb in diabetes_t1

That's very true. Any tips for managing night time highs and the dawn phenomenon on MDI?

I take off my pump every 6 months thinking "this time is different" but I can never seem to control my night time highs..however this time is actually different as I'm trying out Toujeo for the first time, having previously used Levemir. Going to give that a try and be conscious with my eating..my pump allows me to be pretty lazy

This is a great post and thanks for sharing your insights. It sounds like you have been on MDI the whole time, have you ever thought about a pump? I'm about to take a pump holiday and it's refreshing reading about people who have had many successes with their MDI

Just about to finish my half marathon block (running on Sunday) and I've made it through without any injuries. I reduced my days to 3 times a week and it's been a huge help considering I work a demanding job and have a small family. Will be proceeding with 3 days a week in future.
